Kitchen Staff

Hello! We are a team of local, experienced restaurant owners currently in the process of running our soft openings in a small, new venue called BISTRO 17 located in the heart of Downtown Tuscaloosa. With our Alabama, Chicago, Atlanta, New York City, and Los Angeles restaurant, hotel, and bar experience, we are excited to be bringing fresh, American, crave-worthy, comfort food with a healthy twist to the neighborhood! We have very many Gluten Free and vegetable options that we are incorporating into traditional Southern Cuisine.

Our venue has approximately 40 seats inside with seasonal outdoor café seating as well.

We are seeking experienced, qualified Kitchen Support Team Members to work under and learn from our Certified Head Chef as we roll out our menu in the heart of Downtown Tuscaloosa. Our dream Team Members will be those that desire to grow with us as a company, put their treasure in people, always have their sleeves "rolled up" and ready to work, and have a true passion for the culinary arts.

As a company, we believe in growing together and truly desire to create long-term business relationships with our team. We have other restaurant and bar concepts that we will be implementing in the surrounding area, and this is a wonderful opportunity to grow as a team as we seek to add value to the hospitality industry together!

We will currently be operating for dinner services Monday through Saturday and will eventually be open for lunch and dinner. We will be closed on Sundays as we desire for all of our team members to have a good work/life balance.

While our dream candidates will be those that desire to grow with us as a company, we know that there are many paths in life, and we truly desire to put our treasure in people by giving back and providing training that will serve us all far beyond the walls of our small venue.

Some of the Responsibilities we will require the Kitchen Support Team Members to uphold shall be:

• Implement the execution of the menu to the exact direction of the Chef
• Work with the owners to construct seasonal menus that deliver passion and flavor in every bite of every dish
• Passionately adding to our culture of teamwork and servant leadership
• Comply with nutrition and sanitation regulations and safety standards
• This list is not exclusive and other responsibilities may arise!

Skills:

• Proven experience as a Kitchen Support Staff Team Member
• Ability to work well under pressure
• Ability to handle high volume workloads

Thank you so much in advance for your interest - we are looking forward to meeting you!
